I measured big with my last 2 babies. 7 weeks ahead w/ one and he ended up being a few days overdue and 9lbs8oz 21". The 2nd was 2 weeks early and only 7lbs8oz 20"...I measured 6 weeks ahead w/ him; his amniotic fluid levels were on the tip top of normal. Both were/are completely healthy.

that makes sense...my daughter was 7.15 and 3 weeks early and my son was 8.13...but i dont remember my belly measuring that much bigger...the doctor didnt seem worried so i guess we'll just see what happens

I went through this with my son. I was measuring large with him by about a month and started thinking the same thing you are. You should not worry. My son came only 4 days before his due date and is completely healthy. It just means your baby might be a little bigger. My son was 8lbs 0.09 oz
